“I received your note only this morning; but I cannot call upon you, as I have really a great deal to do; and I have a very bad [the word ‘bad’ struck out] heavy cold in my head which keeps me confined to my House.
“I have stipulated, as I told Mr. W. that I had done, that I should not be a Party to, or have any knowledge whatever of the Suit between Mrs. Wellesley’s family and him, now depending in the Court of Chancery; and I don’t think I ought, and my inclination would certainly lead me not to interfere in it in any manner; unless I could do so by putting a stop to it, and preventing further disclosures of Private life.”
